Red Devil in Car and Driver
Guys the Car and Driver story is out.
It is a good write up and has cool picks. Before you guys give me crap about the 1/4 mile time let me give the racers excuses. • It was 48 degree day • They would not let me drive it • The track surface was like and side street. • The guy was spinning tires 1 – 3 gear. • On the 12 pass the blower pulley came off So we went 11.8 at 127 on a 48 degree day on a regular road with a guy who has never driven my car before..... http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...specialty_file Stielow |
These definitely aren't drag cars and they are extremely difficult to get out of the hole on a drag strip, let alone a greasy road.
It was a great article. I didn't realize your car was that heavy. Makes me feel better about my hoss.:D |
no need for excuses, the car is flat out awesome! 127mph tells the story, most likely closer to 130 and in the 10s with you behind the wheel.
Great read- Rich |
Ha, no excuses needed. Still very good times and people on this forum know you could've bested those by a large margin in better conditions. What can ya do.
And was really impressed with the article and pics overall for a mag I normally don't enjoy. The pictures with a legend outlining each part and its detail/manufacturer was a very nice tough. Congrats "High Priest" :unibrow: :thumbsup: |
Cool article Mark and definately gives a boost to our movement ....
Any reason why they wouldn't let you run it in the 1/4? And why wasn't it done on a track? |
Just the fact that a PT car made it into Car and Driver alone is huge!!
Porsche, Ferrari, and Vette guys will be thinking twice next time they are next to a PT car at a stop light.:thumbsup: |
